Several of my blog friends make their own laundry soap. I've thought of trying it. From what I hear the laundry gets very clean and is so economical. Now, my friend, I think you've persuaded me! I love lavendar and often try to find just the perfect lavendar laundry detergent. None of them could possibly be this good!~Adrienne~

P.S. - One of my friends has an old food processor stored away just for making her laundry soap. She 'grates' her bar of Fels Naptha in it! Saves a lot of grating, she says. Just a thought.

YOU AMAZE ME!! We could be sister's at heart!! This is how I do my laundry detergent too!! Down to the same canning jars!! I used this soap all summer long, and you know Farmer Joe can get pretty dirty putting up a fence!! Well, the soap worked WONDERFULLY!! And the Lavender smells like HEAVEN!! XXOO, Damaris

I did this and am most pleased. I grate the Fels Naptha by hand on a good grater from Williams Sonoma (my daugher's) and it's done in no time. However, the lavender oil was so expensive that I opted for lemon. It smells great, too. I only use about a tablespoon or two per load and it gets my clothes clean and it's very inexpensive. Love it.
